While in Colorado Springs, I decided to take a look at the Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek ROW which is now a public trail and off-road vehicle route. Up the mountain from Colorado Springs, only a part of the trail was open, so I drove it down to Colorado Springs and ended up about 1 mile from the old gold processing center, aptly named "Gold Mill Mesa" and is now a large pile of rubble with one large cement smokestack visible. Anyway, here are some of my better photos:
No, I wasn't moving very fast when I took the tunnel picture. Getting out of the truck on this route wasn't a good idea because I ran into two way traffic along the shelf road, and it only got better once I hit solid tar. I'd recommend this during the summer for most vehicles, but in the winter, on a good day, 4WD vehicles work fine for this route. This was near Cheyenne Mountain and the Seven Sisters Falls.
